<p>Highly doubtful that base plastics, when new, will produce measurable distance gains over premium plastics. The most I would concede is that beat-in discs seem to produce flight characteristics that no new disc has, and of course base plastics (DX, etc.) beat in much faster. For a given player, this formula---the right disc, perfectly beat in---might be the distance driver of choice.</p>

<p>Generally speaking, the adage of "know your plastic" favors premium discs, which fly about the same today as yesterday or last week or last month.

<p>Base plastic isn't my fav, especially pro D, but i love DX Destroyers. They are flex machines, and they are the same if I bought one a year ago or 5 years from now. They don't suffer from the what happened to the mold situations for some reason. They are also easy to replace, especially if you are at a tourney and need to reload.</p>

I throw a variety of each. My main distance driver is the Wraith and I prefer it in Pro plastic, for the grip. Just my personal preference. I get about the same distance though with any plastic.
